Aim: To summarize about thermal management techniques for electric car battery pack. Theory: A battery pack is one of the most important and expensive components that is used in a HEV, EV and PHEV. The batteries used fall in to the category of secondary type meaning that they are rechargeable and are all based on lithium…

Aim:          To make a MATLAB model of fuel powered electric vehicle and comment on the results. Theory:           A fuel cell is an electrochemical device that generates electricity by consuming a fuel. A fuel cell is one of the various…

Aim: How weakest cell limits the usable capacity of the battery pack? What is the solution? Model: MULTI CELL BATTERY PACK: The performance of electric vehicles (EVs) and plug-in hybrid electric vehicle (PHEVs) strongly relies on their battery storage system, which consists of multiple battery cells connected in series…

Aim:         To understand battery technology in general and the different types of lithium ion cells. Objective:         To prepare a table which includes materials & chemical reactions occurring at the anode and cathode of LCO, LMO, NCA, NMC, LFP and LTO type of lithium ion…

Aim: Brief about coulomb counting and how BMS implements coulomb counting for SOC estimation. Theory: State Of Charge estimation is a key factor for correct and safe battery management, particularly for the development of the Battery Management System (BMS). In general, the SOC of a battery is defined as the ratio of its…

Aim:        To simulate the generic battery model charge and discharge using UDDS data in MATLAB. Theory: Drive Cycle: A driving cycle is a series of data points representing the speed of a vehicle versus time. Driving cycles are produced by different countries and organizations to assess the performance…
